BOTTLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 579,274, dated March23, 1897.

Serial No. 561,070. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CLAUDE FRANQOIS DIT EMILE LAROUE, a citizen of theFrench Republic, residing at Pontarlier, France, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Bottles, of which the following is afull, clear, and eXact description.

My invention has relation tobottles or other receptacles adapted tocontain liquids of various kinds; and among the objects in view is toprovide a bottle or receptacle of the character described which mustnecessarily be broken or ruptured in order to permit of the same beingemptied of its contents; and my invention consists in the novelconstruction, arrangement, and combination of parts, as hereinafterfully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointedout in the appended claim.

I would state that bottles of different shapes are adapted to have myinvention applied thereto, and in the drawing I show the upper portionor neck of a bottle, the same being provided with aninternally-projectin g shoulder or enlargement h.

H indicates the cork or stopper, which is adapted to seat within theneck above the enlargement h, the latter being adapted to prevent thestopper from being pushed down within the bottle.

I indicates a metallic cap which seats upon the upper end of the stopperand fits tightly within the neck and prevents the stopper from beingremoved. The cap is firmly secured to the stopper by means of a rod j,which passes through the cap and stopper and is riveted at each end. Thecap may be made slightly conical or tapering, so that When forced downWithin the neck it will tightly bind therein. The neck of the bottle isprovided interme diate the length of the stopper with an exteriorshoulder or enlargement i, at which point the neck may be broken. ItWill be seen, therefore, that it is necessary for the neck of the bottleto be ruptured in order that the contents may be discharged, thusrendering it impossible to use the bottle again.

WVhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is"

A bottle or similar receptacle having an internally-projecting shoulderor enlargement h in its neck and the exterior shoulder a in combinationwith a stopper 11 adapted to seat against the shoulder h, a cap Iseating upon the stopper and having a conical shape, and a rod j passingthrough the stopper and cap and securing the two together, as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this12th day of August, 1895.
